Apple HomePod Might Pair Using Noise,and It Sounds Awesome


New gadgets are great, but setting them up can often be experience-ruining. Fortunately, Apple may be looking to introduce an ingenious pairing method that makes it easy to connect the upcoming HomePod speaker to your iPhone – simply by making a noise.


Developer Guilherme Rambo has done some digging in Apple’s latest iOS 11 beta release, and uncovered the clever new feature as a result. In a post to Twitter, he wrote: “One thing I missed about the HomePod setup: it can be done without manually typing the passcode, through audio.”


Of course, Apple hasn’t confirmed any such detail through official means just yet, but we’re likely to hear more about the HomePod at the company’s September 12 product launch event, where we’re expecting to see the iPhone 8 debut.


Apple announced the HomePod on June 5 this year, showing off the new gadget to onlookers at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference. The HomePod is a smart speaker that’s powered by Apple’s own Siri digital assistant, and is a direct rival to devices like the Amazon Echo and Google Home.
